Description First edition, published by George Coffin in 1953, issued in original cloth with dust jacket. Early specialist bridge publications from this period are increasingly uncommon, particularly when retaining original ephemera such as the publisher's advertisement slip. Copies are less frequently encountered in the trade, especially in complete form. A desirable example for collectors of bridge literature and mid-20th-century gaming works. Bridge Endings focuses on the endgame phase of contract bridge, offering analysis and guidance on how to manage critical closing positions. Through examples and strategic insight, Raphael Cioffi examines techniques for maximising results in the final stages of play. The work serves as a practical resource for players seeking to refine their endgame skills.
